It is a bit hidden - it is in the README.linux file under the NS_JAVA
option. :-)
If you set that environment variable, the non-statically linked non-AWT
JVM will be used.
One thing we can look at is to use the non-AWT/X version automatically
whenever the DISPLAY variable is not set. You could still set the NS_JAVA
to always use that, but at least it would be less confusing/more automatic
for the cases where X is not running, let alone installed.
